Horizon Reflect is a consultancy company based in Amsterdam with over two decades of experience. Clients are professionals and organizations in various sectors, SMEs and corporates.
It is our mission to help people, organizations and ultimately society to promote their resilience, authenticity and well-being.
Personal Quality, PQ, has five pillars on which we focus: self-awareness, mindset, energy, connection and purpose.
Organizations that recognize PQ as a topic, are a catalyst for developing human capabilities. Increasing resilience and self-awareness positively influences decision-making, productivity, communication and stimulates creativity, emotional intelligence, innovation and the capacity to respond to change with an open mind and wise heart.
The pillars in brief:
In self-awareness we look at personality, values, motivators and emotions.
The mindset we practice, is a “growth” mindset; mild, open, aware and responsible.
Energy is based on the balance between action and relaxation.
Connectedness pays attention to positive relationships characterized by giving and receiving safety, support and care.
Purpose helps to shape our mindset and attitude and provides guidance when making decisions.
Three interacting aspects of the cyclic process are:
We would like to invite you to explore which pillars you currently want to strengthen for yourself or your organization.
Resilience & stress
No matter how hard we try, life will surprise us. Stressful situations are inevitable. In our personal lives, our work, in the news. Several respected studies show the effect of stress on our emotional and physical health.
Resilience is the ability to "bounce back" from stressors. It's not about avoiding stress, but dealing with it with agility.
Practicing resilience not only helps us cope better with stress, but has a strong positive impact on our overall well-being.
Horizon Reflect was founded by Monique van Reijen.
I have been working in various management and advisory positions for over twenty years. Mainly in the field of (digital) innovation, ICT and change processes, but also as a crisis manager, confidential advisor and coach.
Most requests have been business-oriented, and I notice more and more requests for training to be able to deal with life's challenges resiliently. The organizations I work with are profit and non-profit, national and international, large and small. I am the initiator of a serious games cooperation and I’m am on the board of two foundations. I live in Amsterdam, am married and non-evil stepmother of three children who are all at University now.
The paradox
My favorite pastimes are seemingly contradictory; dynamic and adventurous on the one hand and introspective and calm on the other. I have taken to the skies as a paramotor pilot, have sailed competitions, like to travel to inspiring places in the world, and I also enjoy reading, art and silent meditation. My scientific interest starts with my studies in Dutch language and literature after my VWO and, apart from professional training and online courses, I went back to lectures from 2018-2020 for a research master in Behavioral Sciences.
Keep learning
I also learn a lot from children. Perhaps because they are still free from thinking in the categories that adults have invented to create a sense of security in the face of confusion, uncertainty and complexity. And: what a mirror they are!
With my sister and with friends I have seen babies grow up close and 14 years ago, together with my beloved, 3 children came into my life, the youngest of whom has just left home.
Love for silence
I have a special love for silence. Silence in meditations, silence in art, silence in the bustle.
Silence has helped me at some crucial moments in my life.
I have had the opportunity to interview inspiring people from different countries about their experience with silence and I am collecting these conversations in a special book. Previews follow on this site.
Invitation
Horizon Reflect is the label with which I invite you to look at your question together from inspiring, expanded perspectives.
The eponymous method is based on scientific research (eg psychobiology, neuropsychology and linguistics), combined with wisdom from various ancient traditions (eg Daoism, epistemology, metaphysics). Mindfulness is an important part of my life and work.
You can contact Horizon Reflect for one-on-one conversations, project management and advice and a few times a year we organize workshops in the Netherlands and abroad.
I look forward to meeting you!
Monique
